We Stood Like Kings is a Belgian post-rock ensemble that has been captivating audiences with their unique blend of ambient instrumentation and classical influences since their formation. Known for their expansive soundscapes and meticulous compositions, the band consists of talented musicians who each contribute to the band’s distinctive vibe: piano, guitar, bass, and drums interweave to create a sound that is both grand and intimate, evocative of vast cinematic expanses.

Their discography is particularly notable for conceptual projects that act as soundtracks for classic silent films, which has become a signature aspect of their artistic output. "USA 1982" is a modern tribute to the 1982 cult movie "Koyaanisqatsi" directed by Godfrey Reggio. Similarly, "USSR 1926" serves as an alternate score for the Soviet silent film "A Sixth Part of the World" by Dziga Vertov, while "Berlin 1927" is an homage to Walter Ruttmann’s influential "Berlin: Symphony of a Metropolis." With "Classical Re: Works," We Stood Like Kings explores the connection between the classical and the contemporary, reenvisioning classical pieces within their unique sound framework. Their track "Away" is further evidence of the band's dexterity in crafting instrumental pieces that can stand alone as both hauntingly beautiful and thought-provoking. We Stood Like Kings has successfully carved out a niche for themselves in the modern post-rock scene while paying respects to the cultural artifacts of the past.
